Integrity Position Update

The Captain has provided updated coordinates of the Integrity this morning (see link above).

Seas are favorable (2 to 4 feet), but there is a bit of head wind (30+ knots).

Shuffleboard tournament kicks off tonight.

Aboard the Integrity, it has been pretty quiet. Noticed a jog to the north today w/the ship's path... maybe some weather?

If you put 1500 hours in and update it will show you the last couple trips the Integrity made. You will see that in the last couple of months it never sailed that low on the map. I think he is finally correcting to where they normally sail. But like you, I think maybe for weather.

I just seen that too. Maybe every now and then he takes a different route for a change of scenery.

I wonder if this is to deal with the gulf stream current?

Either way, I think we are OK as long as it does not turn around!

I hadn't checked for a couple days, but this morning, I did and saw I was on the Integrity. Sweetness! With a little luck, my car should be here upon my return from vacation.

I was assuming if the seas got rough the Integrity would submerge and run silent and deep. If they miss a port of call, then we get concerned.

Did you notice that when you track your vin number it now says that New York has two docking dates? It says the 7th and the 8th. I wonder what that means.

http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppTracking/ is the one I am using. I then click on auto cargo and enter my VIN number. I am about 2 hours from the dock and was very tempted to get up this morning and go see the ship come in. I thought it would have docked earlier, but maybe he had to slow down to get there at a specific time.

On a side note when I went to test drive a MINI Otto's MINI in PA had a Chocolate brown clubman for test drives.

Was is just a Clubman or the S and what did it have for an interior/options?

More importantly, what did you think about the drive?

It was a Clubman S Auto. I really did not get a good look at it. Before I went for a test drive I said I wanted to drive an S that was auto. They said they had a clubman that was auto. I got there and they just handed me keys and said go. It turns out they gave me a regular Cooper auto. I got back and the MA said he gave me the wrong car to try, by that time I knew the auto was not for me. So I ended up driving a Cooper S with the 6 speed and as soon as I got back I ordered my MINI.

I was watching as it was coming in. It got close to the BMW VDC and then it dissapeared. I guess when it docks it is turned off. I know on the tracking site for the boat it says it is at dock.

So my Mini has been on the Integrity since June 26th I think. I am almost certain I am week #26 and I tracked my Mini on http://schedule.2wglobal.com and it said it was on the Integrity. The ship came in to NY yesterday. I just called 1866 ASK MINI and they changed my status from EN ROUTE back to AT THE PORT WAITING FOR SHIPPING. I hope they mean a truck.. I'm in NY!
